About this episode
This episode discusses how women of colour can overcome fear and comparison through visualization and courage, featuring insights from guest Urmi Hossain.
Fear, comparison, and visualization take center stage in this conversation between host Rohene Bouajram and guest Urmi Hossain. Together, they explore how women of colour can break free from the silent race of measuring themselves against others and learn to cross the line into authentic leadership. Urmi shares how she transformed fear into an ally through daily acts of courage, intentional self-reflection, and the power of visualization. She opens up about her journey of unlearning comparison, manifesting purpose, and finding success on her own terms. This episode covers: the inner critic, cultural conditioning, and how fear often disguises itself as protection. Through stories of growth and resilience, Urmi shows that courage isn’t the absence of fear; rather, it’s the decision to keep moving forward anyway.
